Bug#846002: blends-tasks must not be priority:important (was Re: Bug#846002: Lowering severity)
Hi,
IMHO the whole discussion is mixing up two things:
1. If it is correct that blends-tasks has priority 'important'
or not.
2. If the user visible presentation of Blends selection is
good or not.
Regarding 1. we have the following quotes:
From: Holger Levsen <holger@layer-acht.org>

> You are forcing the installation of blends-tasks on every Debian

From: Ole Streicher <olebole@debian.org>

> It is as wrong as for tasksel-data: if we want to have blends selection
> in the installer, then this information needs to be available there.
So this boils down to the decision whether for Strecht Blends will be
considered as important as at the time when tasks were invented and
tasksel-data was allowed to be 'important' despite the fact that it is
not really a "bare minimum of commonly-expected and necessary tools".
Regarding 2. Don has correctly pointed to the *implementation* of the
selection. I think for the user experience this is the main important
point since the user will probably not care in what package the data
that are needed to present the menu are bundled.
Kind regards
Andreas.
